Cultural Proficiency Institute What is Cultural Proficiency? The Cultural Proficiency Institute is designed to bring educators together to discuss critical issues of diversity, equity and opportunity. Cultural Proficiency is a model for shifting the culture of a school or district by providing a framework for effectively describing, responding to, and planning for issues that arise in diverse environments. Cultural Proficiency provides the lens by which we examine achievement gaps and ensure that each demographic group is addressed in effective ways that lead to desired outcomes.
Tools of Cultural Proficiency Principles: The values that serve as the foundation and move individuals and organizations along the path toward cultural proficiency. Barriers: Unawareness of the Need to Adapt, Resistance to Change, A Sense of Entitlement, and Systems of Privilege and Oppression.

Continuum: Language describing situations and events that range from Cultural Destruction to Cultural Proficiency.

Listen. Learn. Lead. In order to truly teach our students, we must first be willing to listen. Only they can tell us their hopes and dreams for the future—essential information if we are to successfully inspire and prepare them for what lies ahead. By encouraging students to have a voice, and being open to what they have to say, you can create a community of collaborative and motivated learners. These one-day institutes, based on the work of Russell J. Quaglia and Michael J. Corso, will explore how students’ aspirations can drive school reform and improve achievement.
Participants will: 14
• Learn the impact of Aspirations and Student Voice in schools and gain an understanding of the Aspirations Framework and how to utilize Student Voice for improving teaching and learning • Learn how to ensure that the work they are doing fosters a school environment characterized by positive relationships, engaged learning, and sense of purpose • Discover the ingredients of an engaged classroom and school environment • Uncover how to incorporate student voice and the skills of emergent leadership into a creative, practical approach for improving the teaching and learning environment
